Recently I’ve had to make a few big changes in my lifestyle, like cut out and limit dairy, gluten and sugar. This brekkie is perfect and tasty without all the junk.

I remember making a single batch of these during the holidays, and I tasted just one and ended up eating the entire batch! I hurried to make two more batches because they were meant to be gifts to friends and family.They were such a huge hit with everyone, and they look absolutely gorgeous when placed in mini cupcake liners and my husband thought I’d bought them, HA! I love these because it’s so simple, zero baking necessary! That’s always a win!You need 2 boxes of Romany cream cookies (any flavour you like), a few tablespoons of cream and salted butter (if you don’t have salted butter unsalted is fine just add in a pinch of salt to offset the sweetness). I topped mine with candied pecans, dried cranberries and cute heart shaped sprinkles. You could use anything you have lying around, desiccated coconut, cocoa powder or just dipped in chocolate. These truffles are incredible either way.Here’s how I made them.

This recipe is adapted from Pick n Pay's Freshliving magazine and is one of my favourite desserts. I love the sticky sweet caramel flavour of dates coupled with the bold nutty flavours of the pecan nut. This is a match made in heaven. The photos are taken by me and is featured on my blog too. Enjoy! :)
